1) I do not have access to Java system at work since we are mostly SAP ABAP shop. ABAP is SAP's development language. Right now, SAP has both ABAP engine and J2EE engine for doing delopment in both ABAP and Java. However, no access is given for Java development because we have no deveopers with Java background.

Having said that, how can I do the practical assignment part of SCJD? Please help !!

Do I need some kind of application server, back end database etc? If yes, are there any free versions I can download on my PC and do the assignment at home?

Thanks

No, you don't need any. This assignment is much simpler than you imagine. All you need is your favorite IDE.

Thanks.

"No, you don't need any. This assignment is much simpler than you imagine. All you need is your favorite IDE".

That is what I wanted to know. This simple answer to a simple question would have closed the topic long time back.

any way, thanks for clearing this up.

What do I need to (e.g.download TOMCAT etc.) complete the programming assignment? Do I need to buy/purchase any software etc.

Can you be more specific other than "do at home"?

Thanks

If you read your assignment you'd have known you need nothing at all except a current JDK and a text editor. An internet connection would also be handy to upload the completed work for grading

The ask was answered here:

If you ever wrote some other program than Hello World in Java than you already have all you need for scjp (JDK and text editor) - once again look at sun website.

Don't now why you ignored it and asked again and again... :/

I think he only ever wrote web applications or plugin modules for SAP and is quite unaware that that's not all of Java. If that's the case his idea that expensive tools and application servers are required is somewhat understandable but he may not be a good candidate for the SJCD because of it as he really needs to do more general Java coding first.
